and additions to existing develop- ments, according to the district. “At times, developments may change from their original plans for lot sizes and go from a larger parcel to a smaller lot, and when they do that, that can really rapidly increase the total density of development, which dramatically increases the number of students,” McCord said. McCord said growth is not limited to just one area of the district, which makes it more dicult to keep up with the changes. “The growth is everywhere. It’s really especially prominent on the east side of I-45, … but the issue is, the growth is everywhere,” he said. Rezoning students Due to growth in the Grand Oaks feeder zone and in anticipation of the opening of Hines Elementary School on Lexington Boulevard in Spring in August 2024, CISD rezoned its ele- mentary and intermediate school boundaries within the feeder at its Jan. 17 meeting. McCord said when going through the rezoning process, the attendance

boundary committee’s goal is to reduce enrollment at overcrowded campuses while minimizing the num- ber of times a family has to be rezoned. “You have to walk a balance between leaving room for growth but also accomplishing one of the goals of the new school, which is to relieve overcrowding at existing schools,” he said. “So we try to take all that into consideration.” To relieve overcrowding at Clark Intermediate, 199 children from the Legends Trace and Legends Run neighborhoods will be moved to Cox Intermediate. To populate Hines Ele- mentary and provide relief to Broad- way and Snyder elementaries, 1,094 elementary students will be rezoned within those schools. “When you have overcrowding at multiple campuses, obviously the addition of a new school will help, but you can only do so much with one campus. Additional schools are going to be needed as people continue to move to our area,” McCord said. Hines will open in August with 742 students moved from Snyder. Another 352 students from Harmony Village

and Harmony Central will move from Broadway to Snyder. When the dis- trict rezones an area, McCord said the goal is to get four to ve years out of the shift. “We really try to not move a stu- dent more than once while he or she is going to a particular campus,” he said. “We are largely successful at that—now, the faster the rate of growth, the more dicult it is.” Elsewhere in the district, Bart- lett Elementary, a new elementary campus set to open in August 2024, will provide some relief to elemen- tary schools in Caney Creek and Conroe high schools’ feeder zones. An attendance boundary commit- tee will be formed for that rezoning in August of this year, according to district ocials. “That one new building needs to address a lot of campuses that need relief on the east side of our district,” McCord said. “We’re looking forward to it, but it’s going to be a challenge.”
